 Get plenty of light overall so it doesn’t look like you’re
hiding in the dark, but not so much light that it creates
glare on eyeglasses if you wear them.
 Position two lights, if possible, at a diagonal in front of
you, one a bit to your right, and one a bit to your left.
Table lamps work fine.
 Use natural light where possible; if one of the above
lights is a window, all the better. Avoid fluorescent
bulbs or other “cool” light sources.
 Eliminate any direct backlighting, like a window behind
you, and avoid light shining directly over your head.

 Depending on which event and what role you have in
it you may be required to stand, sit, provide a head
and shoulders or waist up shot or be allowed to walk
around.
 If you will be at a distance from the webcam you
should consider using a separate microphone.
 You will need to determine your monitor height, camera placement and your position in the shot.
